Expat - Costa Rica oleh J.S. Anon

Facing financial ruin, a Midwestern couple escape to Costa Rica to begin their retirement. In their tropical paradise, Lance and Cathy join other similar expatriates thriving in an affordable lifestyle that provides more pleasurable pursuits, personal growth, and camaraderie than they ever imagined. Living their second childhood full of kayaking, golfing, tennis, hiking, and jungle excursions reveal a whole new world of self-indulgence. Monthly celebrations provide a shocking, wild side to this senior community of refugees. Their experience exceeds their expectations and thrusts them into a world of affordable decadence. Their idyllic lifestyle isn’t the picture perfect postcard that others see on the surface. Conflicts arise between the local Ticos and the affluent expatriates, who behave more like plantation owners than foreign guests. During the wet season, drug runners use the local fishing village as a route to push cocaine north. And, every spring, their Dolphins Resort hosts three weeks of Spring Break activities. The colorful interactions between retirees and the other occupants of Tambor Beach provide an eye opening revelations of the complete lifestyle of expatriates in Costa Rica.
